Woman stops attempted sex assault by biting attacker's penis: Cops

One way to stop a man dead in his tracks is to hit him where it hurts.

Or in this case, biting him where it hurts.

A Louisiana woman reportedly stopped a man who tried to sexually assault her by biting him his genitals.

The Times-Picayune reported 54-year-old John Patton allegedly lured an unnamed woman he had met on the dating site Plenty of Fish to his home to sexually assault her. Cops say the 50-year-old woman met with the man after conversing with Patton for a number of weeks.

The potential lovebirds reportedly agreed to meet up on Sept. 7 at a Metairie daiquiri shop. Patton, however, had different plans.

According to cops, Patton asked the woman to meet at his Westwego, La., home with the intent to introduce her to his sister. The woman went to Patton’s apartment but discovered there was no sister there.

When she tried to leave, Patton allegedly covered her mouth and pulled her into his bedroom, stating “he wanted to have sex.”

Police say the woman agreed to do the dirty deed out of fear for her life. But Patton was allegedly “unable to perform” so he demanded oral sex instead.

Then, the woman allegedly bit Patton in the penis and ran naked from the bedroom. She then barricaded herself in a corner of the home with a coffee table when she realized she needed a key to get out of the apartment.

“She was just cowering in the corner with the table,” said Westwego police spokesperson Lt. Eric Orlando, as reported by the Times-Picayune. “He approached several times (with a knife), and she fought him off with it.”

Patton allegedly tried to stab the fearful woman with a knife but she managed to disarm him. He grabbed a second knife to continue the attack but she used the table to protect herself, according to Orlando.

Patton and the woman spent several hours in a standoff until the man allegedly gave in. He returned her clothing and personal items and released her the next morning, Orlando said.

The woman then ran to a store and called 911. Westwego cops arrived and nabbed the man after a seven-hour standoff with the aid of a gas canister.

Patton has been charged with second-degree rape, aggravated sexual battery and false imprisonment while armed. He’s currently behind bars.
